Overview
- ESPN reported that Drew Dalman informed the Bears he is retiring at age 27, and no public reason has been provided.
- Dalman started every game and snap in 2025, earned a Pro Bowl selection, and allowed just one sack after signing a three-year, $42 million deal last offseason.
- He finishes five NFL seasons with 74 appearances and 57 starts after four years with the Falcons and one with Chicago.
- The Bears are visiting with free agent Tyler Biadasz, recently released by Washington, who can sign immediately prior to free agency.
- Reports also link Chicago to three-time Pro Bowler Tyler Linderbaum, as the team recalibrates cap and roster plans and confronts a concurrent left tackle vacancy following Ozzy Trapilo’s knee injury.
